Abstract

This study examines how debate pedagogy supports the development of English-speaking fluency among third-year cadets in a semi-military law enforcement institution. Guided by an interpretivist paradigm, it adopts a qualitative, single-site case study design focused on the integration of British Parliamentary debates into the English curriculum. Data were generated through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, classroom observation of debate sessions, and document analysis involving 36 purposively selected participants (34 high-proficiency cadets and 2 English lecturers). Data were coded and analyzed in NVivo 15 using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, encompassing data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The analysis yielded six interrelated thematic advantages of debate for speaking development: training spontaneous yet structured speaking; refining grammar and pronunciation; expanding topic-relevant vocabulary; strengthening logical argumentation; building confidence in English public speaking; and fostering critical thinking, research skills, teamwork, and active listening. These findings indicate that debate-based instruction effectively enhances cadets’ communicative competence and key soft skills when supported by consistent practice, peer collaboration, and constructive lecturer feedback. The study positions debate as a viable instructional strategy for semi-military academies and offers implications for curriculum design that integrates language development with preparation for contemporary, globally oriented law enforcement roles.

Abstract

This study examines how British Parliamentary Debate (BPD) is used to enhance English-speaking proficiency among third-year cadets at the Indonesian Police Academy (IPA). Grounded in an interpretivist perspective, it used a qualitative, single-site case study design to explore cadets’ and lecturers’ experiences with debate-based learning in police classrooms context. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis using purposive sampling (34 cadets and 2 English lecturers). The data were analyzed thematically with NVivo 15 and guided by Miles and Huberman’s interactive analysis model, comprising data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The analysis highlights 5 interrelated thematic experiences in speaking improvement: initial involvement, emotional response, preparation process, topic relevance, and activity perception. Overall, debate-based learning offers a holistic approach to developing linguistic, cognitive, and affective skills and can be integrated more systematically into police-academy English curricula, particularly when reinforced through regular practice, collaborative peer work, and constructive feedback from lecturers.
